Tobacco
Around one in four people in Switzerland smoke. Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is quickly and highly addictive. Smoking is very bad for your health and causes around 9,500 deaths every year. It is difficult to consume tobacco without risk. That's why it is best if you don’t smoke at all.
FISP helps parents to prevent their children from smoking. Smokers are encouraged to stop smoking and are given useful advice on how to do so.
Events
FISP provides information and discussion events on the subject below. Because of the information they receive, parents with a migrant background know that you can quickly become addicted to nicotine. They understand the harm that smoking causes and are given important advice to help their children not to smoke.
The information events are run by trained intercultural mediators, mainly in migrants’ groups or their organisations, usually in the migrants’ mother tongue.
What parents can do (whether they are smokers or non-smokers) to help prevent their children from smoking.
Target group and settings
The events are aimed at migrants, especially parents. Possible venues/settings include:
Clubs, associations and informal migrants’ groups, meeting places, integration projects, language schools, meeting centres and educational and social organisations and social institutions.
